The Congress program covers all of the ENT sub-specialities and focuses primarily on the clinical practices, innovations and problem-solving discussions. Experts of each ENT field from Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia will be the moderators in practical sessions.

This meeting is the 8th international symposium in a row of successful meetings, since it was first launched in Dresden in 1996 based on the idea of bringing together clinicians and basic scientists. The triennial meetings aim at promoting exchange between experts in clinical otology, middle ear scientists and engineers. The meetings focus on the middle ear biomechanics (measurements and modeling), basic and clinical research on its physiology and pathology, active and passive middle ear implants, middle ear surgeries, bone conduction theory and applications. Also great interest is paid in areas as inner mechanics, evolution of the auditory system, imaging technologies, etc.
